ingredients, combined in about the proportions stated, viz: White lead 1gallon Turpentine 1 quart Carbolic acid 10% solution with water 1 pintGood results may also be obtained when the ingredients are varied withinreasonable limits. For instance the amount of turpentine or carbolicacid solution employed may be increased or decreased to vary thethickness of the paint and also the softness of same. In preparing thecomposition or paint it is Cpreferable to first mix the white lead anthe turpentine and then add the carbolic acid solution by thoroughlyagitating. The paint may at the same time be colored by Elam addition ofany suitable coloring mat- The paint thus prepared may be used as anordinary paint but is particularly adapted as a waterproof andheat-resisting covering for cloths and fabrics of different kinds. Itmay be applied to the fabric by a brush or any other suitable means. Thepaint when dry is comparatively soft, thereby leaving the fabric pliableand sufficiently flexible to permit it to be folded in an suitablemanner. The paint does not crack when the fabric is folded and as it iswaterproof, it can readily be appreciated that it may be washed off atany time. It has also been found that exposure to heat up to 800Fahrenheit does not destroy the life of the paint nor the fabric. Itmay, therefore, be termed fireproof to a certain degree.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is- 1. A paint consisting of white lead, turpentine andcarbolic acid combined in about the proportions described. 4

2. The herein described composition of matter to be used as a paint,consisting of 1 gallon of white lead, 1 quart of turpentine, andcarbolic acid 10% solution with water 1 pint thoroughly mixed byagitation.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
